Enable Program Execution

To enable running Oracle Business Intelligence Publisher Programs from Oracle LSH, you must:

• Install the Oracle LSH Distributed Processing (DP) Server on the computer where the Oracle Business Intelligence Server is installed. See the Set Up the Distributed Processing Server for instructions.

• Define a service location in Oracle LSH for Oracle BIP. See "Defining Service Locations" in the Oracle Life Sciences Data Hub System Administrator's Guide for instructions.

• Define one or more BIP-type services for each service location. See "Defining Service Locations" in the Oracle Life Sciences Data Hub System Administrator's Guide for instructions.

• Define a remote location and remote connection in Oracle LSH for Oracle BIP. See "Setting Up Security for Oracle Business Intellignece Publisher" in the Oracle Life Sciences Data Hub System Administrator's Guide for instructions.

Set Up Security

You must complete a number of security-related tasks, including creating an Oracle Applications responsibility for each person who will use BIP with Oracle LSH. See "Setting Up Security for Oracle Business Intellignece Publisher" in the Oracle Life Sciences Data Hub System Administrator's Guide.

Set Up Business Intelligence Publisher Definer Tools

Oracle BIP has two tools that Definers may need in order to work on BIP Programs. The integrated development environment (IDE) for report logic design is web-based. The Template Builder for Word is used for developing layout templates. Definers can download this tool the first time they launch Oracle BIP or later from the web-based integrated development environment (IDE).
